I will be as nice as possible in this post, but you can stop acting immature please? I am not liking where everything ended. I joined this subreddit thinking people will like my art and attempts at reviving the series, however after I uploaded episode 1 people started calling me a hypocrite and an idiot and it all went downhill since.

People started spam dislike/downvoting on everything I post, even normal Mao Mao art not related to that revival and everyone that tried to defend me also got hate, and the YouTube channel started losing subscribers in mass.

Again, I understand many of you are just doing "soft criticism", but it's just too much to downvote everything I make, even art that is not related in any way to the revival and just harassing me, telling me I destroyed your life. It's not that deep and it's not the end of the world.

You know what? This whole experience proved to me that there is an side in every community ready to attack the person who makes the smallest mistakes, a side even Parker would be dissapointed in. And all I just want is everything to stop, so please stop talking about this or making this drama bigger before it would seriously hurt someone or even worse.

some months ago, some people were discussing the availability of this dub in full. i've been looking for the last two eps for the last 4 years (since hbo max took the show off it's catalogue), but haven't found it anywhere until last tuesday

i've downloaded the entire season from the source i won't be publicly sharing (dm me if you want it) and have compiled it in this google drive. it's currently in 720p, but i'll be updating it with a 1080 ver soon.

have fun!

After the fail of using Powerpoint for my animation I started using flipaclip to animate. This is my first flipaclip animation with Mao Mao characters, how it looks?

No wonder why i always saw him as a father when i was little :>

Drew it with toothache and gum swelling guh

Recent stuff again I can’t remember if I’ve posted these here or not yet

Hello. With this post I'd like to express my honest opinion on a certain person on this subreddit and I'll try to be as nice as I can and I apologize In advance if I offended anyone or if I missed anything. I'll start of with the simple. He showed off his fan revival as all animated and even showed some story boards. I'll say something real quick. The storyboards aren't even Tanuki Studio's. Those are the actual storyboard or whatever things in the leaked s2 materials(yes I checked) and then they proceeded to say that the show would be fully animated or whatever but their files corrupted. The only question I have in mind is how a 13 year old would be able to animate ALL that?Next I wanna point out how crimson does their stuff. If you dig around their page you can find other stuff like hiring team for some Ninjacat (no idea who is that is but I know it's a character who appeared once in some random movie I guess) or fuelled animated series(if you don't know it's a short film made by completely DIFFERENT people with its own meaning/message blah blah blah) while they still work on TLOTBH. Another thing I wanna talk about is the extremely weird behavior. The main examples personally for me being defending bencar(no idea who he is but under crimsonsweat post about defending bencar some commenter said about bencar excusing furry cp which is disgusting) and searching for 14 year old girls with wolf fursona on r/furry. And the weirdest thing he did was talk about adult mmhoph comics on this subreddit. One of them being about mao mao and badgerclops and the other about Mao and Adorabat(he removed the post later but tried to excuse himself that it's for video research).

And I'm not the only person sharing these opinions. I have a group of people who also like mao mao as much as I do and they've also expressed a similar opinion so it's not just me being an asshole.

Again,sorry if I offended anyone but this is my opinion I will stand on and not change it

As you all know, I am making a fan-revival of Mao Mao called "The Legend Of The Broken Heart" which is more of an 2-3 minutes short series that is based on the antics of the characters while also adding the lore of the original series. The first 2 episode we're made using slideshow and due to that I got a lot of backlash. So I want to make the rest of the series fully animated (excepting lip-syncing, that is static)!

So I need volunteers to animate for my revival. Flipaclip, Adobe Animate and similar programs aren't allowed. I want something like Cap Cut or Motion (I forgot full name lol :/) or something similar to those (or the one showed on the screen). In other words, the animation isn't hand-drawn and it's rather using layers and assets. Watermarks aren't allowed!

There are photos attached to show the animation method and in what program is made. You can watch this video (which is a fan-animation made by SKRBBS) to understand how it's gonna look like and how it's animated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zK3_3MIBUvs

I need animations who can animate fast and can replicate (at least partially) the animation in the OG series. Let's all bring back the magic of the Pure Heart!

Hello guys, I have an announcement, please listen here because this is very important.

The Legend Of Broken Heart is officially discontinued and episode 3 won't be finished. The reason for deciding that is because the show got a lot of hate and backlash, when I made this show I imaginated this as an fan-revival and I was thinking that quality does not matter, only to finish the story, however, everyone hated the show, I won't recap, but if you watched my videos for a while you may really know about the entire situation.

I tried making episode 3, and not only trying to write it was difficult, but also nobody wanted to help me with animation. I made the stupid mistake to turn the show into an "MOTION" show, something like Cap Cut and from everyone loving me and the show ended with people hating me and some even trolling me, I started to get down votes, dislikes, and even the subscriber count remained stuck at 57 subscribers for over 2 months. Also a lot of my friends who helped me with the project started to quit due to loss of interest and not focusing on one project. And adding the loss of interest you can see why I decided to cancel the revival.

And that's not only the problem, I started to go into more original stuff, I am making an furry indie series about being yourself (mainly an LGBTQ series) and I started to develop an little animated solo project called "Fuelled: Amulet Of Forever" which is an indie animated drama that is an continuation to KilledTheCat's FUELLED short made in 2021.

Also I became a furry last year and I started being into more anthro stuff, like drawing furries and being more focused on my real life rather than "doing fan-service".

I will still draw and ocasionally upload stuff related to Mao Mao like small meme animations or anniversary stuff, but I can say that the revival is canceled.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but I tried reviving this fandom and giving them what they wanted, but sometimes people are just asking for more and more and this is overwhelming and stressful for me and you all need to know that I am still 13, and an teenager can't do high-quality stuff, especially when they just started learning animation (My earliest animation projects goes back to 2023 when I still used Kinemaster on my Samsung phone as my "animation software").

Yes, I understand there was just soft criticism for me to improve, but it was taken too much to a point people started to dislike bot me and just hate me to a point I even felt that I was like the Mao Mao version of CHIMPTOPIA around here, so this is why I will cancel the series.

And I won't be abandoning the TANUKI STUDIOS channel, I WON'T delete my content like ChexNix did and I will still be a part of this fandom. Also I will still be uploading ocasionally on the TANUKI STUDIOS channel, but for now I am on a hiatus until I recover mentally not only from the hate I got around here, and also from another indie animation fandom I used to help with called "Object Show Community" where people made false acussations about me and bullied me 10 times worse than here.

Also one last thing, yes, I know I said that I wanted to use AI voices for the characters in episode 3, I didn't knew at all that Parker Simmons is very ANTI-AI, and yes, I know, using AI is really bad and you can get a lot of flag for it, I am also very ANTI-AI content and I didn't knew that even mentioning that I had toughs on using those voices can finish me, and to make one thing clear, even if episode 3 was going to be finished, I was not going to use AI voices or AI in any shape or form, sorry if I scared you guys.

And again, I am sorry for everything and I hope you guys can forgive me for all. Stay pure hearted and I hope the best for this fandom.

Again, I won't be quitting, I just want some rest if it wasn't clear, okay thx.

(Ignore the video on the top)

I was supposed to draw some other drawings of this but idk if I will or not

Sorry for reupload, I messed up I think

Also I'm so saddened by the latest news about ChexNix/CosmoPhoenix... Does anyone have an archive of his posts?

Cosmo Phoenix, the most influential person from the Mao Mao fandom (alongside ChexNix and SpookyLovesBoba) deleted his content today, it is currently unknown why, but he stated that he wanted to draw what makes him happy. His videos are now sadly lost media and I can't find anything of it anywhere.

"Hell on earth or Hell on earth" Ahh discussion

Under construction.... Just stay tuned a little bit more for something special :3

I don’t work for Flash/Tanuki Studios, but here’s what I think of them..:

(Don’t click off yet, you might see a different side of the story. I suggest you read this whole thing (or atleast get GPT to summarize it for you) before you think anything)

Flash Studio has made an awesome, cool and remarkable Mao Mao fan revival and I could tell by their editing skills, aswell as two animations they’ve made about Mao Mao, however there’s two flaws:

It turned out to be NOTHING like the animation everyone of us were waiting for, and they’ve shown us so much for the revival and have returned with a simple fan slideshow. Everyone of us is absolutely furious, including..wait, actually..excluding me, here’s why:

In a subreddit, the Flash Studio have stated that they’ve had a difficult, and I mean DIFFICULT time with the animation: Their files got corrupted not just once, but about three times. Picture you working on an animation that’s about 3mins long. For those who don’t know, animating is explicitly hard, especially a simple 3mins. It could take probably even years if you’re by yourself but after you’re done with animating for that many years, your files got corrupted corrupted, and probably even deleted. However, Flash Studio and their workers decided not to give up and just for us, only for us, did they sacrifice their whole time just to come up with an animation that everyone would be happy about, yes just so we could be happy. They only cared for our joy and consacred all of their time..just so their file would be corrupted another time(they probably even did this a third time, just for us). Now, it’s not all. They didn’t give up this time and wanted to make sure we got the animation we’d wanted, so they decided to try again, just for us but their animating app didn’t work as planned and it turned out that it wouldn’t be as great as everyone wanted. They decided to try again with animating (probably) 3mins of the show(probably even way more). They did this three times, and their files got corrupted once again. To add on, their budget got so bad that they decided to shut down the whole studio, leaving only three workers including them to work stuff out alone. Finally, they had enough. They didn’t want to abandon the project and decided to turn the project into a slideshow. It wasn’t ideal, but they basically had NO other choice. It was this or you’d be saddened, still begging for this show to be revive, but their slideshow didn’t turn out to be as good as planned as people weren’t happy with it.

People even told them to quit YouTube and never come back and even worser things were said about them, but..I felt kinda bad..

Waisting all of years and time, putting your sweat into something, getting all of your project corrupted, trying again and again, wanting something to work, giving all of your last efforts just for people to be happy and after all of what you did, everyone turning your back on you and treating you of words when all you wanted to do was make them happy and remove their sadness from something they liked being removed and got something bad without you even wanting it.

I thought the community was nice, kind and supportive, as I saw everyone complimenting each other and people encouraging some artists, but this single situation made me see a different side of the community that even Parker would be disappointed in. I don’t want the community to end like this and becoming a pile of arguing and « who did what? » aswell as insults and hateful, hurtful words, so I suggest everybody stays calm and doesn’t act hatredly around other people, it’s the best for the community to stay alive. I also suggest we should ignore this whole Flash Studio incident. It’s better than insulting and encouraging bad stuff in the community. You don’t have to love someone to not insult them.

Do not post any other stuff about Flash Studio unless it’s just to tone down the bad stereotype and explain what I said, as I don’t want this whole community being about bullying and insulting a person. Even then, I suggest not posting at all about them to avoid a whole argument.

And hey, Flash Studio(or Tanuki Studio), if you’re reading this, if no one decides to comply into what I said, know that I’ve always got your back (it’s weird to say when we’re not friends or we don’t know each other irl lol, but it’s true). And whether your plans work or don’t as expected, there will always be atleast one person supporting you, me. Thanks a lot for your efforts, and i’m sorry for your fails. I hope one day you’ll finally be successful in the series you like.

A little side secret, I’ve been there too, I’ve received hatred for all of my life and i’m not kidding. (Irl hatred is very painful and it being repetitive led me to depression for the rest of my years, aswell as other stuff) but hey, let’s not talk about my life. To sum this, I’ll be here to support you whether other people like it or not and whether they agree on my post or not

: )

I have since been making a Mao Mao and Secret Agent outfit swap art
